Крылатые слова

Winged words serve as a powerful means of figurative and expressive literary speech. Many of them have entered our everyday life so long ago that it seems that the people themselves invented them. The authors of this wonderful book, literary critics and bibliographers Nikolai Sergeevich (1890-1972) and Maria Grigoryevna (1894-1980) Ashukins, return readers to the original sources, reveal the true meaning of catchwords and expressions, tell the story of their origin and use. With their unique book, the authors contribute to the multiplication of the expressiveness of our speech, enrich the individual style, helping our contemporaries - from schoolchildren to politicians and businessmen - to master the rich heritage of thinkers of the past.

For a wide range of readers.
